Perfect side dish to for any occasion. Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole made in the slow cooker. Filled with sour cream and cheese and cooked to perfection.
I used to make a version in my oven, and it finally dawned on me to try it out in my slow cooker. It worked great! I like to serve these potatoes with prime rib, or steaks. Each bite I take has a little meat, and a little potato, match made in heaven!
I took a picture of the hash browns I use below. Every time I use a packaged potato product, people want to be sure to get the right one, so here it is, no confusion. I did add these potatoes to my slow cooker frozen, and it did fine.
Make sure to spray your slow cooker very, very well with non-stick spray! You’ll thank me later.
Don’t these look amazing? I don’t recommend making this cheesy of a dish everyday, but this recipe is perfect for a special dinner or party.

This recipe turned out great! The fact that it did not have cream of chicken soup was a plus for one our family members that is vegetarian. This will be my go to for party potatoes.
Challe says
You give all the nutritional information for this recipe (which is great), but you don’t state the serving size. Based off 8 people… but how much did those 8 people get? 1 cup? 2 cups?
Sarah Olson says
I’m sorry this website can not provide that information for the recipes at this time. I apologize.
Donna says
I’m making it for dinner
Liz says
If I’m using refrigerated potatoes and not frozen, what is your cooking time suggestion?
Sarah Jane Riley says
Wow, this came out absolutely perfect! I volunteered to bring them for Thanksgiving at my cousins. This was my first time making cheesy potatoes, so I was nervous. Everyone loved them, and I loved the simplicity of the recipe (no cannned soup). I didn’t use onion, and would double next time for a bigger gathering. Thank you!
Kristina says
Can u use real shredded potatoes?
Jane Maleck says
Made this for our Easter dinner. Came out great every one loved them , had steak and bowl of mixed fruit with it.
Tammy says
No, this would not work well with fresh shredded potatoes.
Erica Aldaco says
If I double this recipe, do I increase the cook time?
Sarah Olson says
I have not tried, I would think just a bit more time. 🙂
Kim says
I usually always sub Greek yogurt for sour cream…could I still do that in this you think?
Sarah Olson says
I have done this in hot dishes before and the yogurt turns to water. If you have done it in hot dishes with success it may work with the brand you like.
Julie says
I dislike sour cream or yogurt. Can I try a different type of cream soup instead?
Sarah Olson says
I’m unsure how it would be changing both of the main ingredients. I apologize, can’t say without testing out.
Katie says
Cream of mushroom is delish!
Kim says
Cream of chicken soup
Christy says
How long on low setting?
Sharon Olson says
If I double this will it fit in a 6 qt. Crock pot ?
Sarah Olson says
I think it would!
Olivia says
Although it’s a good dish, I have cheesy mashed potatoes instead of hasbrowns.
Katie says
What cooking time would you suggest for making 1.5x the recipe and 2x the recipe? Needing to make this for a large family gathering.
Katie says
Also, would either fit all into a 6qt?
Dianne Pagurut says
If I double the recipe what time should be used THNX
Grandma Kc says
Cheese and potatoes — it doesn’t get any better than that!
